I was banded back in 2005 , lost weight and regain all plus some back.... Today is a new day... My first goal is to get to 299 Lbs on or before Jan 01, 2014.. Current weight as today 330 lbs...

I need to start working out so my goal today is to get in at least 1/2 mile in.....

I need to work on my menu- I posted asking what people are eating and have received some response- ( thanks )... So if u have a menu that is pretty simple send it my way. I am not a cook but I can do simple things...

I work 8X5 so lunch needs to be pretty simple because most of the time its a working lunch behind a desk....

Yes I need to plan a visit to the Drs office.. I still have restriction but its not the same.

Start weight:339 Lbs (Sept 07, 05)
Band date/weight= Dec 13, 05/ 320 lbs
Lowest weight after surgery: Apil-14-06-261.2 lbs

Good luck. My losing phases diet is fairly simple. Plain meat, grilled or pan-fried; more often fish. Fresh vegetables. Small amount of something like potato or rice. Snacks are nuts, fruit. If I am hungry I have an extra meal of something like fish.

I cut nothing out if my diet completely be don't eat much sugar in or on things. I choose brown bread in preference to white.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

I do pretty much the same as Kate except I watch my carbs more closely because I seem to be very sensitive to them. So I would skip anything like potato (unless it's a sweet potato), bread, rice or any kind of pasta. Otherwise I eat pretty much the same as she does.

I am at a restart point today too! Your message really motivated me. I was banded back in 09. Lost 107, have gained back all but about 40. So disapointed in myself, yet I know that emotion is doing me no good. I am ready to eat clean, at least 85-90% of the time, like I will the rest of my life.

I tried to PM you but it didn't allow me to type a message ??? If you would like to keep in touch and motivate each other I would like that. Maybe if you message me I will be able to respond.

Good luck on the restart! We can do this!

Hi Joey,

Wishing you success!!! You can do it. Where your greatest desire is, that is where your focus and efforts will be. 1 day at a time. 1 meal at a time. Planning will help. I am just now getting back to it too and I did pretty well last week and the weekend wasn't perfect but I did ok. Better than usual. MUCH better than usual, I stuck to my plan but had some alcohol which I know will slow it down, and some fried pickle chips. That was the worst... but back on track today and I may even do another liquid day to kind of make up for it.

Hope you have a great day!!!
